    Over all the car is in very good condition for its age.

    A quick rinse and make a start on the wheels, Malco Brake off.

    A good wash Megs APC in nooks and crannies and bodywork Bilt Hamber shampoo. Dried with Sonus waffle towel.

    Clayed with Bilt Hamber hard clay water as lube. Rinse and dry again.

    A closer inspection of the paintwork.

    Mmmm....



    Using the PC tried a white Sonus pad with CG scratch and swirl which really had no effect, then Malco Ultra Cutting Cream Light and not much improvement. So onto Menz IP on a Sonus Yellow, a 50-50 just about works!

    Looks great! You have that paint looking like liquid. The only thing I see wrong with it is the steering wheel is on the wrong side. LOL...
    Awesome job.:applause:

    Nice work! Jetseal durability might be crap, but it sure looks FANTASTIC! Top it with a nice wax and you're in the MONEY!

    ooh gorgeous vehicle and I love the colour...I'm a blue colour person :thumb:

    I've always been curious how it would be to drive a vehicle with the steering wheel on the opposite side..:shrug:

    Job well done :thumb:
